I’ve been writing a weekly column for the Selma Sun most of this year. The Sun has now folded into the Black Belt News Network that has a wider readership across Alabama. As described, the “Black Belt” is “the poorest and most rural region in Alabama.” BBNN is woman-run, reaches half a million people in 14 counties, and it’s a media partner with Alabama Public Radio. It also operates the only live newscast in the region.
I’m pleased to be a regular writer presenting my “un-orthodox” views on Religion from a non-religious perspective.
You’re invited to support the Black Belt News Network through a subscription. I also post a copy of the “Friendly Freethinker” columns each week.
However you access my scribblings, thank you for reading!

Thank you, Donna, I appreciate your comment and interest in my writings. May I ask which newspaper you find the column in?
Hi Mr. Highland. You are very welcome. Your column is featured in my local newspaper. I purchase the print edition every week at my local Walmart. It’s called the Destin Log. Here’s a link in case you are interested. The Destin Log: Local News, Politics & Sports in Destin, FL
